Instructions for Setting Remote
Frequency (Dip switches 2, 3 & 4)
Your hand-held remote Control (#003) is
a two component system. The handset is
preset to the same frequency as the
receiving unit. You may want to change
these settings if:
(a) Other radio frequency signals or
appliances are interfering with operation
of your ceiling fan.
(b) You are installing more than one fan
in close proximity, and you want to
control these fans separately.
Ensure power to your fan and switch is OFF. Locate dip switches 2, 3 & 4 as
pictured above, and carefully select a new combination of ON and OFF
switches. Be sure the combinations match on the handset and the receiving unit.
Turn power back ON and test that the new frequency corresponds and that your
fan is functioning properly.
WARNING: Do not use dip switch “1”, which controls the light dimming function
of the remote and does not alter its frequency.
Dimming Function (Dip switch 1)
Your remote has been preconfigured to include dimming for your optional light.
If you are using globes that are non-dimmable or you do not wish to use the
dimming function it can be turned off.
To turn off the light dimming function ensure power to your fan and switch is
OFF. Locate dip switch #1 on both the handset and the remote receiver and
move it to the OFF position (typically down closer to the “1”). Turn power back
ON and test that dimming function is no longer operational.
To turn the dimming function ON move the dimming switch to the ON position.
WARNING: When turning OFF the dimming function ensure the light is at
maximum brightness before turning it OFF, otherwise the current to the light may
be reduced, resulting in a dimmer than desired light.
Operation Instructions
With power supply ON, use the handset to send commands to the fan and/or
light. To dim light, hold down light button until desired level is reached.

Because of the fan‟s natural movement some connections may become loose.
Check the support connections, brackets and blade attachments periodically.
Make sure they are secure. If it is necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling or
access parts of the fan that carry lethal voltage contact a licensed electrician, at
your own cost.
Clean your fan periodically to help maintain its new appearance over the years.
Use only a soft brush or lint free cloth to avoid scratching the finish. Plated
finishes are sealed with lacquer to minimise discolouration or tarnishing. DO NOT
use water when cleaning, this could damage the motor, wooden blades or possibly
cause an electric shock.
There is no need to oil your fan. The motor has permanently lubricated bearings.
If your fan is provided with a light diffuser, remove and clean the diffuser with
lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. DO NOT immerse light diffuser
in hot water. DO NOT put light diffuser into an automatic dishwasher.
When replacing a halogen globe ensure you do not touch it with your hands as the
oils on your skin can reduce its life.
From time to time the battery in the remote control will require replacement.
This electrical product is manufactured in accordance with the relevant safety
standards. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original
spare parts.
If the ceiling fan has not been used for a long time, turn it ON and let it run for
several minutes in order to keep it in good working order.
Note: After cleaning your fan make sure the down rod is vertical otherwise the fan
may wobble.
Seasonal Use
Winter - Clockwise rotation to bring
warm air down the walls from the ceiling
without producing a strong draft beneath
the fan.
11
Summer - Anti-clockwise rotation to provide a cooling breeze beneath the fan
and circulate air around the room.
Trouble Shooting Tips
General information:
All electric motors, including fan motors, make some noise and may feel hot to
the touch. This is not a fault of the ceiling fan.
In some areas signals are sent through the power lines by the electricity supplier
for the control of off peak hot water, street lights and other electrical systems.
These signals may cause an intermittent humming in the ceiling fan. Filters can
be purchase to address this at the customer‟s cost. This is not a fault of the
ceiling fan.
Often noises such as ticking or humming can be caused by loose parts or
structural factors in the ceiling. Please review the trouble shooting tips listed
below to fix the problem.
CAUTION: A number of the items below require access to areas of the
fan which carry lethal voltage. These are marked with the caution
symbol and can only be performed by a licensed electrician in
compliance with Australian Standards and other Government
regulations. Apply common sense and care at all times.
Blades do not turn
Check mains power has been turned ON.
Check circuit breakers and fuses.
Check that the reverse switch is firmly in one position.
Check wire connections at ceiling and wall control.
Fan makes humming noise
Be sure that all non-electrical fittings (light kit, bottom dome, canopy, etc)
are firmly secured. Loose parts may cause vibration noise or humming.
Be sure you are using a control approved by Spinifex Fans. Rheostats,
continuous dimmers and low-voltage controls will cause motor noise.
Fan wobbles
Check that the down rod is vertical.
Make sure all mounting hardware at ceiling is tight.
Be sure ridge in hanging bracket is seated in the half-ball slot.
Check that stopper screws and set screws are firmly tightened where
down rod is attached to the fan body.
Ensure screws attaching blades to rotor are tight.
Have blade sets been mixed? Blade sets are pre-balanced and must be
used as part of the provided set.
Use blade balancing kit as instructed in kit.
12
Light does not work or flickers
Several models have a manual ON / OFF switch for the light located on the
fan body. Be sure it is in the ON position.
Be sure the globe is screwed in completely so that base touches contacts.
Check globe has not blown.
Confirm the right globe is being used.
Check wire connections at ceiling and wall control.
Fan makes repetitive ticking noise
Check for obstructions in rotor path.
Check light kit globes are secure.
Make sure all other hardware is tight.
Make sure mounting hardware at ceiling is secure.
Fan (or light) not responding to remote
Check the battery has charge.
Confirm dip switch settings are the same on sending and receiving units.
Check that all wire connections are made as instructed and are secure.
Unable to operate fan and light independently
Be sure you are using a fan speed control approved by Spinifex Fans.
Check wire connections at ceiling and wall are made as instructed.
Missing or short wires
Check if wires are stuck in the fan housing.
Fan turns but does not move much air
Check that the fan is not in the „reverse‟ position for winter operation.
Confirm that there is sufficient distance between the ceiling and blades for
air convection - typically about 30cm between ceiling and fan blades.
For high ceilings, consider using an extension down rod to bring the fan
closer to the floor.
Fan speed is not corresponding to the wall controller
Check the wall controller has been wired correctly.

All Spinifex Fans light kits have a 12 month warranty. Globes, if supplied, are done so as a
complimentary (free) item only and are not covered by warranty.
What is the in-home warranty?
The warranty does not cover installation faults, house wiring faults, loose blades or fittings or
damage of any kind. If you are located beyond 25km from the depot of our service agents, Spinifex
Fans will reimburse customers a standard fee of $85 (inc. GST) for using their own electrician.
Conditions apply and any service request must be arranged with Spinifex Fans before calling your
own electrician.
When installed as recommended by Spinifex Fans (via an isolation switch) a fan or remote control
can be switched OFF at the wall in case of a fault. If the product cannot be switched OFF because
an isolation switch is not fitted, costs involved in disconnecting the product while awaiting warranty
service are borne solely by the customer.
